    The Department of Labor has submitted the following (see below)

procedures, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 
104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval has been requested by 
August 16, 1996. A copy of this ICR, with applicable supporting

OMB Desk Officer for the Employment Standards Administration, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 ((202) 395-

in comments which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses.

    Description: This information collection request seeks clearance of

procedures. The proposed scheduling letter and itemized listing are a 
modified and shortened version of the scheduling letter and listing 
currently used for comprehensive supply and

service reviews. The alternative letter and listing require the 
submission of readily available information, and less data than is 
required for traditional compliance reviews. The submission of the 
requested material is the initial step in the revised review process. 
OFCCP expects that the expedited review procedures will streamline 
compliance evaluations of the supply and service contractor, saving 
both the contractor and the Government time and money. It is 
anticipated that the pilot test will occur in a six-month period.
Theresa M. O'Malley,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
